filmmakers lucy bailey and andrew thompson spent 2008 recording the experiences of a white family who challenged the land reform policy of president robert mugabe. it was designed to reallocate white-owned land to poor black farmers, but mugabe's henchmen were often the chief beneficiaries. mike campbell claimed the policy violated human rights laws and filed suit in an international court based in south africa. here is an excerpt from the film "mugabe and the white african." much of it was shot with a hidden camera. >> their plan is to remove every white farmer off the land, and now we've gone to the international court, and i think this is the last chance we got to keep white farmers here. >> this case is a huge responsibility and i know that it wears in mike mind constantly. this case is direct challenge to robert mugabe and his government, but its also a challenge to the rest of the world. we want the world to wake up to the injustices of what is happening inside zimbabwe. mugabe doesn't want harmony between blacks and whites. he wants the whites to hate the blacks and the blacks
